Gore Bay terminal into a competitive product import
terminal.

Subject to subsequent approval, Jacobs is also expected to
provide engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCm)
services in the delivery phase of the project, according to the
company.

refineries.

The Clyde conversion project involves extensive
upgrades, refurbishment and re-use of the existing crude and
product tankage that supplies truck loading and pipeline
operations helping to service Sydney airport and Shells
distribution of fuels into the New South Wales market from
the Parramatta terminal.
